THE EPONA PARTNERSHIP...

Equine Assisted Therapy aids the Emotional & Mental Well-Being through the Interaction with Horses. The epona partnership is an organisation that provides Equine Assisted Therapy sessions to improve the emotional and mental well-being of children and adults; by utilising the natural behaviour of horses alongside specifically designed therapeutic programmes. This partnership between horses and individuals provides the perfect environment for remarkable personal development and growth. Horses are ideal coaching and counselling guides as they respond naturally and without judgment to any emotional issues people bring to their sessions with us. This allows a unique insight into the individual difficulties a client is experiencing, but by working with a horse towards a change, the horse is able to provide both support and positive feedback as the interaction progresses. At the epona partnership...

we aim to help a wide range of individuals including children and adults whose emotional and mental well-being may have deteriorated due to childhood traumas and difficult life experiences. We help our clients to gain skills in horsemanship, which naturally aids development of people skills. This includes training in related fields and finding gainful employment, if that is their wish.
